iphones built for wee lads?

Trying to use an iPhone that my work gave me.  When I press an area on the screen, lots of times it selects something else nearby.  I'm like "Oh I'll just calibrate the screen".  Look through settings, search online, find out there's no way to calibrate the touch screen.

Guess iPhone's weren't built for adult men...remind me again why Apple products or iPhone's are so popular?

Don't worry Steve Jobs you don't need a functioning product, I'll just shrink my fingers.  I got this.   :mad:

I'm "mashing" the tip of my pointer finger.  I don't think I could be any more dainty about this.

You think this would have occurred in the previous 4+ iterations of this phone "Hey maybe we should have some way to calibrate the touch screen like every other phone in existence...nah fuck it, we're Apple and people will still buy our inferior products"

i think you can change the size of the keys to make them larger if you haven't done that already

I did see that, and will have to do that.  But it's not just the keys that are the problem, just generally trying to navigate in certain apps it keeps pressing something next to what I wanted to press  :|

Why are you trying to use it as something it wasn't meant to be? It's a shiny accessory, occasionally useful for checking your makeup.

lol iPhones.  Windows Phones are far superior.  The only current downside is the lack of apps which, is, improving.  :wink:

Unless your fingertips are flat, the size of them doesn't change anything.

IMO, Apple embodies everything bad about computing industry with their "all flash, no substance" products. They are making fuckton of cash out of stupidity of their customers, who buy their hardware for price that is far higher than the product is actually worth, just because it looks pretty.

Got a Galaxy S4, no problem for my big hands... but iPhone is really too small from what I've seen.
